Présentation de l'éditeur
This book has been written for the young people who are interested in the story of the stirring scenes through which their fathers passed. It is needless to say that it is not a true record of personal life; it is no more history than is Robinson Crusoe or the Pilgrim s Progress. The facts stated as historic are to be relied upon. Many of these came under my own eye, when I went over the ground which Roger speaks of in his campaign. The pictures of Georgia life are, I think, correctly drawn, and ought not to fade out entirely. This little book has been written in the interest of peace, and I have been anxious that the Southern boys and girls who will be largely and almost exclusively my readers should see not only how nobly their fathers bore themselves in the war, and how grandly their mothers and sisters toiled at home, but that they should see how really noble and generous were many of those who were on the other side. If any one should object that these characters had no counterparts in real life, I can only say that they have not heard the whole story and that, while such cases were too rare, there were such. The absence of malice between the soldiers was a remarkable feature of the contest; and if there has been feelings of bitterness between the North and the South, it is high time for them to have an end. The children of the old English people who settled A merica, whether they landed at Jamestown or Plymouth Rock, have too much in common to be at enmity now. Common dangers are too near them for them to vex each other.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This rich historical novel follows Roger Lawson, a young man in Georgia during the lead up to the Civil War. Its themes center upon family, the American social order, the impact of war, and the importance of reconciliation. The author takes a balanced approach, portraying the complexities of race and the stark realities of brutal conflict. In this, he invites the reader to consider that people on either side of the war were capable of great compassion and sacrifice. This book is more than a battle narrative; it's an enlightenment on 19th-century Southern life and the lasting impact on those who lived during that desperate chapter in American history.
